Too often I find myself wondering and worrying and thinking TOO much about what the heck I'm supposed to be doing in this town, in this place I haven't quite called my home.
Why is it that we always want what we can't have? I was so ready to grow up and be done with school and all the responsibilities that come with it, but I'd give anything to be back there with the routine, crazy late nights and friends all around me. What is my purpose here? And when did I become an adult? I know there is something greater waiting for me but I have to trust God first that He knows what He is doing in my life.
What is your purpose in this life?
One of the things I love and dislike most about myself is the fact that I am a very perceptive and compassionate person. I always want people to feel welcomed, to not be left out and to not be lonely. I become saddened by just observing people who may not have family or friends and it frustrates me that I can't do more to ensure that people become accepted by society. This world, filled with so many people is a lonely lonely place for many individuals. A lot of us may not realize this because of the mass amounts of friends we have and the loving family that would never let us become lonely or ALONE. People who are marginalized by society have been pushed away by whatever family they came from. One of the groups most prone to this type of marginalization are those who have physical and mental disabilities. I have been applying to many jobs that focus on this population in great detail and help them lead self-determined lifestyles and help them to feel like a part of the community. I pray that I will be able to work in those people's lives one day. We really just need to think less and do what Jesus would do.
I want to make a difference in this world.
